coppercrutch Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Interesting programme. Gives you an idea of what life was like 40 years ago. Not very different from today really. In fact incredibly similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC was very interesting indeed. As you say the similarities are uncanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Powell saw it coming...no one paid attention People did pay attention. Problem was, it was such a radical and contriversal thing to say that the Tory party distanced themselves from it. Really interesting TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 EP was visionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 EP was visionary. Wouldn't go that far J but he certainly wasn't too far off the mark with some of the things he said. All of that "The Black Man will have the whip hand over the White Man" stuff was clearly bollocks designed to stir things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that "The Black Man will have the whip hand over the White Man" stuff was clearly bollocks designed to stir things up. Some of his statement may have gone a bit OTT. But his message was clear and as you say he pretty well hit the nail on the head. They said if they had an election after his ROB speech he would have won in a landslide. Clearly touched a nerve with a lot of people. A lot of which one would not deem to be Tory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that "The Black Man will have the whip hand over the White Man" stuff was clearly bollocks designed to stir things up. I am not so sure that is 'clearly' bollocks. There are plenty of situations at the moment where a black person can gain an advantage just by simply saying they are black. Of course this is reversed in other situations. Clearly some of what EP stated was a little OTT. He still clearly defined things in the future that have definately happened. These are also things that very few other people at the time had the balls to come out and say. Considering this I think the label of 'visionary' is perhaps appropriate.

Pretty much what I also said CC. You cannot argue against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
